'How do I keep everyone happy on holiday?'Before I married and had children, I travelled extensively. My husband did not do as much as he would have liked. Now we have a family we have to do 'family-type' holidays. However, my husband finds these hard work and is vocal about the fact he would rather be walking in Iceland or visiting a place he has never been before. I've suggested just the two of us go somewhere together, but to be honest, I cannot contemplate leaving the country without my children and walking in Iceland is not really on with a four-year-old and a six-month-old baby. He knows this. How can we compromise?

Obama's opposition to House appropriations bills signals that another long summer of contention over funding the government is likely. (FCW image)
President Obama would veto the House versions of appropriations bills funding Homeland Security, Veterans Affairs and military construction, in part because the measures maintain the freeze on federal civilian pay, according to a pair of June 3 policy statements from the Office of Management and Budget. That announcement is the latest move in what is shaping up to be another protracted battle on funding the federal government for fiscal year 2014.
The administration wants the House to nominate conferees to reconcile the House and Senate budgets before starting work on appropriations bills. That seems increasingly unlikely in the current political climate, especially considering the gulf between the two budgets. The House cuts taxes and uses spending levels under sequestration as the baseline for the federal budget, while the Senate version raises taxes and restores cuts made under the Budget Control Act.
H.R. 2216 – Military Construction and Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2014
H.R. 2217 — Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2014
The President's budget steers a course between the two chambers, but tilts toward the Senate version, with increased revenues from changes to the tax code, including limits on deductions enjoyed by the wealthiest taxpayers, and a proposed one percent pay hike for civilian federal employees.
The administration has a list of specific objections to the individual bills, and some points of praise as well. But the main complaint appears to be that maintaining the spending framework of sequestration, "would hurt our economy and require draconian cuts to middle-class priorities." Regardless, House appropriators are moving full steam ahead on the suite of bills to fund the government, releasing funding bills for Defense and Agriculture on June 4.

Only bad Government leaders rely on proposed "increased revenues from changes to the tax code" to balanace their spending. This is fantasy accounting and they all should know it by now. Every projected "increased revenues" from new taxes has always been much less than these people claim it will be. Oboma and the DEMS just want to "tax and spend" more - as usual - but never will take any responsibility for their incompetence and dishonesty. I am not crazy about the Rebuplicans, but the DEMS make them look good by comparison once you have worked through all the biased reporting trying to make the DEMS look good. These people also need to get over the false idea that this bloated spending "would hurt our economy and require draconian cuts to middle-class priorities." Excessive long-term spending is not about helping the economy and the middle-class (because it does not), but about power for themselves.

In On the Heavens, however, Aristotle saw the "idea diversity" of the world differently. Aristotle observed that although we may hear new ways, from new men, of expressing ideas, all of these ideas stem from a common experience that all men share and that all men attempt to express.

JP Morgan & Co updated its methodology for its emerging markets indexes, a move that will boost the weightings of China, Brazil and Russia.
Prosecutors say Aggarwal was working for JP Morgan in San Francisco when he passed on nonpublic information about mergers and acquisition to his friends.
The approval would help lift curbs on redemptions from two JP Morgan's debt schemes - short-term income fund and India treasury fund.
Two JP Morgan Mutual Fund's debt schemes — Short Term Income Fund's and India Treasury Fund — had to take a hit on their portfolios.
If the unit holders approve this and it is implemented successfully, it will remove the limitation on redemptions of the schemes which were made effective August 28.
In its note to MF distributors, the AMC claimed that it has not given any preferential treatment to any set of investors before imposing some restrictions in two of its troubled debt funds.
Amrapali Group has given partial exits to JP Morgan Real Estate and ICICI Prudential India Opportunity Portfolio Series 1.
JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon says cutting down on executive compensation wouldn't help eliminate income inequality.

Meet the Experts: Your Marketing Data Needs Governance, Too
Thomas Brence, Director, Product Marketing, Informatica Data as a Service
Sep 29 2015
26 mins
Since many compliance and regulation issues come from data, all organizations need a governance plan for data in all of its many forms. One area that is often overlooked is the abundance of data that your marketing team collects – which is used throughout the business for important objectives, including customer communication and revenue generation.
The volume of data collected by the marketing area of your organization is set to grow, as most CMOs say that data acquisition is a top priority, according to a Salesforce Marketing Cloud survey. A data governance strategy for the marketing area, including validating and cleansing this data, will reduce the risks of common compliance issues and their consequences.
Applying data governance best practices to your organization's marketing operations can be simple, quick, and highly beneficial to your organization overall. For example, accurate, clean data that meets regulations improves a marketer's ability to effectively personalize their messaging, which can lead to 5-8 times the ROI on your marketing spending. Join us for this Meet the Experts webinar series to learn from the Data as a Service team about the risks and costs of not having a governance strategy for your marketing data, and how we can help you proactively solve these issues.

Localization and Translation - The biggest challenges you're probably facing
Wendy Schuchart, VentureBeat Analyst
Sep 29 2015
62 mins
Sponsored by Lionbridge
It's no secret – any well-known brand you see on a regular basis is already playing with a localization strategy to increase market reach. For your message to resonate, you need to be thinking not just at a regional level, but about your global customer experience.
Localization isn't limited to simple translation -- you can't set it and forget it. Companies shouldn't assume, for instance, that a campaign created for Spain will be equally as effective to all Spanish-speaking consumers in the U.S. or Mexico. It's not just language, but cultural differences. Consider the message you might send to someone in Berkeley, California, versus one you might send to someone in Phoenix, Arizona or New York City. And once your unique branding content has been sent out to different geographies, your localization efforts aren't over just yet. True experts understand that the campaign as a whole is not a sum of its parts -- a campaign's success can be in the granular regions, creating a truly unique customer experience with that added local flavor to resonate within the audience.
We'll walk you through the most common challenges that companies make and help you improve your campaign's quality, accuracy and relevance to reach the right consumer. We'll give tips on not only improving the localization process but help you deliver better metrics to senior leadership that tell the true story of your brand's globalization.
In this webinar, you'll learn how to:
- Re-think campaign creation at the regional level -- and the global one
- Effectively use in-market experts to drive better impact
- Make your branding as world-ready as possible.
- Use metrics to show the truest picture of your campaign's effectiveness
- Enhance the customer experience through storytelling and added local flavor

Geo-location and mobile marketing: Wherever they go, there you are
John Koetsier, VP Research, VentureBeat
Sep 23 2015

Sponsored by FollowAnalytics
Since the beginning of time, marketers have understood that location matters. From putting guys on corners wearing sandwich boards to having airplanes dragging message banners, marketers use proximity marketing to snag hot prospects and leads when the moment is hot. Knowing where your customers are has never been easier, thanks to their own smartphone's internal GPS. Now you can target those prospects who are in the same state, city or even the same block as your salesman. Through geo-fencing and iBeacons you can even send a message to them the moment they step inside your store -- or try to lure them out of your competitor's store too.
The flip side? You risk creeping out and alienating your customer base. Don't know where to start? Want that next great idea? Our experts will talk through the basics to master level geolocation triggers through mobile marketing automation in a fast-paced discussion. Register today!
In this webinar, you'll
* Learn the difference between geo-fencing, geo-targeting and geolocation
* Discover the savvy geolocation techniques being used by today's top marketers
* Integrate geo-fencing or geo-targeting technologies into your marketing strategy, regardless of budget
* Understand how competitors may be luring your customers out of your business through their own geo-fencing activities on your own home turf.

Are you a marketer looking for ways to actually put your data to use? Have you thought about monetizing your data but don't know where to start? Or maybe you've started to realize that all of your customer and online data isn't as unified as you want it to be?

Join our guest speakers, Forrester research analysts Fatemeh Khatibloo and Liz Witherspoon, on September 10, 2015 at 10am PT, to learn about strategies to unlock the value of your data, including:

Death of the Marketing Campaign
Aug 6 2014
42 mins
Allen Gannett is the Chief Maven and Founder of TrackMaven
It is harder than ever for today's marketers to capture and retain customers. Buyers today are even more empowered with an increased access to information. And now, marketing teams must compete across a growing array of digital channels to get their audiences' attention. Customers get bombarded, and it becomes much harder to know if you are reaching your customers — and if your messages are resonating.
All this means that the era of campaign-centric, start-stop marketing is over. Marketers can no longer wait until after a marketing campaign ends to determine if it is having an impact. Marketing must be data-driven, continuously improved with predictive outcomes. This webinar will examine how the best marketing organizations are breaking out of the campaign-centric marketing trap, achieving predictable outcomes, and outpacing their competition.

Account-Based Marketing in 2013 - A Demandbase Survey
Nov 28 2012
61 mins
Jason Stewart, Director of Marketing at Demandbase, Inc., Craig Rosenberg, CEO and Editor of Funnelholic Media
Results from a Demandbase/Ziff Davis survey on B2B marketing priorities, challenges and the Account-Based approach to marketing
B2Bs sell to accounts – that is obvious to B2B salespeople but historically hasn't played a s significant role as marketers plan demand generation programs. Where sales focuses on the accounts that are most likely to become revenue, marketers are often still running campaigns focused on generating a high volume of leads with the right titles, working in the right departments - regardless of account, when the reality is that you need to do both.
With leading analyst firms now adding account-based marketing practices into their research segments, B2Bs need to consider why this strategy is growing and what they can do to attract and convert more of the accounts that are most likely to become revenue. This webinar will share results from a recent survey investigating how B2B marketers are reacting to new Account-Based strategies. We will discuss:
• The #1 strategy B2B marketers are focusing on in 2013
• The factors driving content marketing decisions next year
• Which marketing targets are consuming the most resources in B2B
• The leading factors B2Bs consider while scoring new leads
• The top challenges B2B marketers are likely to face in 2013

Taupe Dotty Round PVC Tablecloth is rated out of 5 by 14.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Katy kitchen from easy to trim to size At first not sure about size as too big for our table but really easy to trim to size.folded into quarters and used a metre stick as a make shift compass before cutting. No fraying and looks perfect now. Very happy....could have paid a lot more elsewhere for a tablecloth that is no better. Like simple design and it's easy to wipe clean.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Verena2 from Fine for the price Well, it's a circular piece of plastic (no hem). But the pattern and colour are fine, it was cheap as chips, and does the job in keeping ring marks off the table.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Little Suzy Home-maker from Pretty and functional I think this is great! It looks pretty, it protects my expensive table from everyday scratches and spills, and it was very, very cheap! OK, it's a bit thin, and there is a tiny slit in it, about 5cm long (I put a vase of flowers on top, but you'd never notice it!). I think I shall get one in another colour.

Amazing biological fun!
My four year old wants to be a marine biologist after reading through this app / exhibit with me. She is excited to visit fireflies in Eastern North America and dive deep into the ocean to visit her favorite - the anglerfish!?
The only thing this app needs is support for the retina display. Other than that, it is awesome!

Many things have happened in the year of 2014. Such as tackled some tasks alone, facing what people think a minor problem yet for me it was hard, get to know real friends, hangout with friends a lot than before, knowing what exactly happened by observing people around me, the experience on doing documentation for fyp1 etc.
It was a year that full of student life experiences compared to the past few years. :*:・( ̄∀ ̄)・:*:
On new year's eve, I got myself a new coat. Since my campus is super cold, so I have decided to buy one of this to keep myself warm. (・∀・)
Most people celebrating new year's eve with friends and family but I am all alone having my potato chips and soda happily. (≡^∇^≡) #DearFood&DrinkYouKnowMeWell
Anyway once again wishing you all a Happy New Year 2015.

I'm trying to set up appropriate subcategories within my main categories, but the slugs are not working as I would expect. It seems like there are occasionally duplicate fields, and to deal with this WordPress rewrites the slug rather than changing the subcategory name. This makes ugly permalinks!!
Does anyone know how I can solve this??

That 'Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2' trailer almost stole some thunder tonight because I pretty much forgot that we were getting a brand, uh, spanking new, Beyoncé-accompanied trailer for '50 Shades of Grey.' Shady move, Blart. The second full trailer for the upcoming adaptation of the popular 'Twilight' fan-fiction erotica novel is here, so let's break it down, shall we?
We won't know exactly how graphic '50 Shades of Grey' is going to be until we see the film with our own cursed eyeballs, but we now officially know that the film has been given an R-rating by the pearl-clutching members of the MPAA. What does that R-rating stand for? Graphic nudity, "strong sexual content," and "unusual behavior." Wait, what the hell is unusual behavior?!
Casting for Legendary's 'Kong: Skull Island' (previously titled 'Skull Island') has been a little slow-going. For several months, the only actor confirmed for the upcoming prequel was Tom Hiddleston, followed recently by J.K. Simmons. As if the cast wasn't already shaping up to be particularly awesome, Legendary is now in talks with Michael Keaton to make it even cooler.
Even before Sony was hacked and we got a look at their e-mails regarding Spider-Man, we knew that the company was scrambling to figure out what to do with the web-slinging hero. After talks with Marvel for a potential crossover with the character fizzled, it seemed as though Sony was focusing their energies on Spidey spin-offs and putting plans for 'Amazing Spider-Man 3' on hold, perhaps indefinitely. But according to a new casting call, it looks like Sony might be moving ahead with the third installment in the underwhelming franchise after all.
It's the start of a new year and the start of a new month of Netflix Instant releases. January brings all 10 seasons of 'Friends' to the streaming service, as well as some old classics and new favorites, and several new seasons of television for you to binge-watch as needed. Ready your queues and read on for our guide to the newest releases hitting Netflix Instant in January 2015.
Earlier today it was announced that Sony will release 'The Interview' in select theaters and on VOD this Christmas Day after all. Following the massive hacker attack on the company and subsequent terrorist threats from the group known as Guardians of Peace, Sony had no choice but to cancel the film's release after major theater chains decided not to show the film. In a wonderful turn of events, following a petition from Art House Convergence, which was signed by many independent exhibitors, Sony is moving forward with the release. We have the full list of theaters that will screen the film this Thursday.
For years now, Paul Reubens has teased that an all-new 'Pee-wee' movie is in the works, but it was only over the course of the last year that the project finally became more of a reality. With Judd Apatow's involvement and an official script locked in, Reubens revealed that production on the film is set to begin in 2015. But don't count on seeing Pee-wee back on the big screen—he's heading to Netflix.
The holidays are winding down and we're heading into the new year with a whole new schedule of films hitting theaters in 2015. January kicks us off with plenty of movie options to help you escape the winter blues, including anticipated releases like 'Taken 3' and 'Blackhat,' as well as more action, adventure, and even a couple of family friendly releases. Read on for our guide to the new movie releases coming to a theater near you in January 2015.
Following today's release of a message sent from the mysterious group responsible for the massive Sony hack, the company has now informed theater owners that they can opt out of screening 'The Interview' if they are concerned about the terrorist threat. Although the Department of Homeland Security responded by saying they could find "no credible info" on planned attacks, Sony has decided to place the decision to screen the film in the hands of theater executives.
A couple of days ago some e-mails pertaining to the future of the 'Spider-Man' franchise were revealed from the massive Sony hack. Those e-mails confirmed that Sony had indeed been discussing a potential Spider-Man crossover into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with the character making his debut in 'Captain America: Civil War.' Although the e-mails indicated that those talks between Sony and Marvel fell through, a new report has shed some light on what Marvel Studios would do with the character if they ever get him back.

Is there any way to get a HWND without createwindow? I am wanting to use async sockets and WSAAsyncSelect requires a HWND. My server application won't be using a window.
Thanks! I tried GetActiveWindow and it didn't return a valid handle. I assume it is because there wasn't a window created initially? GetDesktopWindow did return a valid handle but i'm wondering will this handle be valid through through the uptime of the PC?
